I made a mistake and didn't turn off computer with disk inside, I just rebooted and didn't get the disk to boot. All is well now. I just need further instructions to proceed with fixing the 12.10 64 bit installation of the ethernet.

I'm having a similar problem here. I've just installed 12.04 (64 bit) on an ASUS X55A laptop - that's a few hours ago, so I only have the Base 12.04, with no updates and no ability to update. I can't connect to my LAN, but can see lots of wifi connections. None of them mine - I don't have wifi. I don't have any option in my BIOs to enable or disbale LAN. So, I can't access internet at all via the laptop, only from my pc and then try to build using a USB stick.

So I guess this is a repeat of the atheros driver, although I checked the ubuntu page before I bought it to read that the ASUS X55A is a supported product?03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1091] (rev 10)
Any ideas, or is there a better/other linux distribution I should go for?
Thanks in advance

I installed linux-image to 3.5.0-25. Mouse is not working in 12.10.
Hi Chili555. I have no wireless...it's neighbours...it's Germany, everything's passworded, people don't like to share!
rfkill list all showsI'm not sure what you mean by 'turning off N speeds in the router'. The 'base' is on my wife's mac....but I've had no problems since installing 8.04 on my machine and have upgraded ever since with never a problem to connect to our dsl router0: phy0: Wireless LAN

I don't quite understand the wireless at the neighbors or the 'base' is on your wife's Mac. Do you have any wireless capability at all, no matter where?
